                          ============

                 The ACM International Symposium

             on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking & Computing

                       October 4-5, 2001

                      Hyatt Regency hotel

                  Long Beach, California, USA

                http://www.cs.ucla.edu/mobihoc/

                   Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE

 MobiHoc 2001 will serve as a forum for addressing various issues

 related to mobile ad hoc networks. Following the success of MobiHoc

 2000, MobiHoc 2001 has been expanded to a 2-day symposium, to provide

 more opportunities for participation by the ad hoc networking

 community.

 This year MobiHoc includes papers on a range of topical issues

 including routing protocols, media access techniques, transport layer

 performance issues, low power and energy efficient designs, security

 issues, Bluetooth technologies for mobile ad hoc networks. The

 symposium also includes a number of exciting presentations in

 outrageous opinions and poster sessions. The full technical program,

 and details of how to register for MobiHoc 2001, are included below.

 MobiHoc 2001 will be held in Long Beach, CA at the Hyatt Regency

 hotel.  Long Beach is part of Greater Los Angeles, situated along the

 coast of the Pacific Ocean. Sandy white beaches, a clear blue ocean

 and year-round sunny weather will make for great recreational

 possibilities for everyone.
